I'm disappointed in myself tonite

I could never kill a mouse. I freak out if DS tries to step on a bug! I had all kinds of pets when I was growing up and mice were my favorite. These were always the pet ones and not wild ones though. I told DD when she gets to be 7 she can have mice as pets because they are so friendly.

I figured I'd hear the trap spring, go into the drawer, pick up the trap and walk out to the nearest field and let him go.

Well........I heard the trap go off and then a bit of rattling. "Good!" I thought......and headed over to the drawer to do my job.

Lo and behold the little bugger had sprung the trap but didn't get caught..so he's running along the edges of the drawer. BIG MOUSE!!!

I'm disappointed because I screamed like a girl! LOUDLY!!!

Then I slammed the drawer shut and will let hubby set another trap in the morning. LOL I'm SUCH a wuss......it's only a mouse, right?

Hubby said that toads are coming into the shop area at work. Does this mean too that the critters are getting ready for a long hard winter? YIKES. Best get some more mouse traps!!

Good luck with the mouse.

BTW my family loves Toads and Frogs, want to ship us some of your winter buddies, we'll give them a great home!
